'But you have a radio. What does that make you?' I asked you at the start of the match,' an angry Kyrgios replied. "The worst ref ever. "Why do I always have problems with this potato in the chair?" I asked you at the start of the match,' an angry Kyrgios replied. 'I wish I could just wake up and criticise other people,' Kyrgios said to the man.The exchange continued when Kyrgios asked the spectator what he was hoping to achieve with his comment. If Rafa plays that quick, I'm retiring from tennis.He would then show his frustration after losing the second set, referring to the umpire as a 'potato'"why do I have to put up with this potato in the chair?
Australian tennis bad...Australian tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios WINS the Citi Open in...Va-Va Zoom! It takes something special to be surprised by a Nick Kyrgios meltdown nowadays, but his latest effort ranks among his most explosive.Kyrgios's second round match at the Cincinnati Masters, against Russian eighth seed Karen Khachanov, started like any other, but ended with him calling the umpire a "f***ing tool" and spitting in his direction in an outburst ESPN commentators described as "disgusting".Along the way there were references to Rafael Nadal, a fume at time penalties he never actually received, and a very brief "bathroom break" that came at the cost of two racquets.In the end, Kyrgios lost the match to Khachanov 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (4/7), 2-6, but the result was only a very small part of the story.Kyrgios's mood began to sour at the end of the first set when, while turning around a 5-3 deficit to win in a tiebreak, he complained of a lower leg injury and called for a trainer — Kyrgios could be heard saying he would have been "done" had he not ended up winning the set.Seemingly disturbed by the countdown clock between points — used to ensure players don't take too long to serve — Kyrgios began to unload on umpire Fergus Murphy.Regularly referring to himself as "the fastest player on tour", Kyrgios randomly began to bring the notoriously slow Nadal into the argument — "what sport does Rafa play?

"Kyrgios then requested a bathroom break, which the umpire allowed him — but he never made it to the bathroom.Instead, Kyrgios walked into an empty hallway, smashed two racquets into the ground, turned around and came back to the court.The linesman who accompanied Kyrgios on his brief sojourn reported the outburst to the umpire, who did not punish him any further.His head gone, Kyrgios took a seat next to the court and began to regrip his racquet, despite Murphy urging him to return to the court. Every single time I play he's doing some stupid shit. Tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios exploded into a bizarre rant aimed at the chair umpire because he failed to get him a clean white towelKyrgios argued with the chair umpire for most of the first set as he insisted on being provided with a white towel rather than the tournament's branded variety.He lost his cool after realising he still didn't have the white towel, despite asking the umpire for one at the start of the match.
